No Place for Young Men.


Kansas City Letter to the Louisville Courier
Journal.
Kansas City is overrun with clerks and
other commercial young men in search of
something to do. The city is likewise full
of business, and many merchants accumu-
late large fortunes in few years, but the
proprletors, like their brethren in the older
cities, see no reason why they should divide
the profits with their employees, and as they
can obtain plenty of the latter, they are
never afraid of strike. The cost of living
is very high in Kansas City, and clerk hire
is correspondingly low. Add the two
together and you obtain the total produced
bv the same process in the Eastern towns.
The result benefits Kansas City, because
the clerk, when he goes away, as no usually
does, he never takes any money with HIM,
but leaves it behind in the pockets of his
employer or clearinghouse keeper.

nothing that can be done in this respect has,
it is said, been left undone. The German Off
GERS say that net once in the 1870 war did
German soldier ever go hungry, while the
French frequently marched and fought with
empty bellies. They admit this gave them
great advantage and allege that the
French, not profiting by experience,
have their commisSary still in a
most dlsorganized and Ineffective condi-
ton. 1t is interesting to hear how some of
their officers talk. They take 1t for granted
they are 20 overrun France, and the limits
which they set to the anticipated new ad
Justment of boundaries are absolutely start
ling. In all talk of war Russia is alluded
TO as the national ally of France, but the
feeling against that country is not to be
compared with the intensity OF luminosity
against the latter. Germany really calcul-
otes upon making such short work of France
that Russia will not havo time to take
hand. But when hostilities once begin in
Europe experience has often proved how
different it is to forecast results and if Ger
man calculations should be set at naught
there would be nothing very extraordinary
about it. But that Germany was never
better prepared for war than now is evil
dent; for added to the immense balance
which has been slowed away in its treasury,
the perfect equipment and discipline of its
nation for the contest and the abiding con
tdence in the result.
PERFECT PREPARATION.
To show the remarkable vigilance of the
government in its exactions of military SER
vice from its subjects, it is said that Ger
many never loses sight of any of them; that
the subject in all his wanderings is still kept
on the list, with his last place of residence.
When war comes he is immediately sum
moned home and should he fail to obey is
branded as deserter and punished as soon
as hands can be laid upon him. Germany, as
well as the other powers claims and exercises
the right to take possession without mo-
ment's notice of the entire railway system
within its territory, and conduct it under
military surveillance exclusively. The Gov
erument now has record of every car be-
longing to every railroad within its borders.
These cars are all numbered in plain letters
Every regiment in the service is assigned to
a certain number of cars specifically deSig-
mated, and in the event of rapid move
ment, the commanding officer of regiment
knows without any inquiry into what cars
he is to pack his men, This is the perfec-
ton of preparation Railroads here do not
run over the vast stretches of territory they
do in the United States, and consequently
rolling stock is not, as with US, scattered
hundreds of miles apart. There is probably
not railroad i'll all Germany whose entire
equipment could not be concentrated in one
day.

A young horse hitched to e blackboard be-
came frightened at street car and the boy
driving him became so nervous and excited
he could not handle him. In his frantic en-
beavers to get away the horse upset
the blackboard pitching the boy
at least ten feet in the street. The young
fellow alighted on his back and shoulders
and though badly scared he was not hurt Sc
riously.
As soon as the horse found he was
master of the situation, he
darted up Mathewson ave. trailing
behind him the overturned blackboard
Just as this badly scared outfit reached
Second street it met e wagon, and met it
square.
There was a crash, few splintsrs, a few
emphatic cuss words and every thing lay
still and quiet in tangled mess Of harness,
brooken wheels, horses legs and other things
By the time the former occupants of the
wagon had come to their senses and realized
| that it was neither cyclone nor lightning
that had interferred with their progress, the
boy belonging to the cause of all this trouble
appeared on the scene.
An investigation Of the dsmages showed q

three of its spokts sticking in the side Of the

The wagon tongue was broken and the
harness on one of the horses that had beer

NEWS FROM THE FRONTIER.

Mr.. T. NJ. Thatcher, Of Summerset, Ken
lucky, arrived in the city yesterday. This
| is his third visit, the second having been
made in last May. On his first, which was
near year ago, he invested largely in real
estate and also made some investments last
May.
While home this last summer he says that
the natives OF his vicinity were very much
alarmed about the investments of SINE OF
them in Wichita. The many 'whole cloth
articles published in ''plate form" in the
leading Journals of the section had tendency
to cause them to try to give the broad laugh
at the men who had put both faith and money
in Wichita. The band of semi-Wicbitans,
however, were not in the least frightened,
but received in most pleasant manner the
| sympsthies offered.
Mr.. Thatcher reports change OF late in
the tone of things in his section. The 'let
up" on "Wichita's busted boom, two-for-a-
cent literature and in fact the sudden stop
ping of such has created very wide spread
SUI spicion that the 'busted" business must
have been a mistake. They again turn to the
Wichita men, and with sckly smile seem &c
wonder if there can be any mistake about
that ousted business.
| While the neighbors were discussing the
Wichita question Mr.. Thatcher and the other
( Wichita boys there quietly went about
their business and would have felt
much better of business matters there had
been as hopeful and prosperous and turning
in as much money for dollars invested as the
Wichita investments. The visit TO the city
at this time is conclusive proof that they
gave their attention to The right end of the
string. The Improvement since May ha
been much greater than in sny other sectipr
Of time Of equal days. This don't seem II
concide with the very popular report tina
Wichita was busted. On the contrary it i
taken as evidence that Wichita is doing jus
what it is desired it shall dc-growing fas;e
every year. The cold facts, Mr.. Thstcbe
says, are gradually gaining ground in hi
section and the people now have given up 81
hopes Of the busted western town bein
busted.
